OTHERWISE – Gawdzillionaire – Review
10th March 2023Otherwise are back with their gnarliest record to date. Gawdzillionaire is a killer from start to finish. There are plenty of hooks, crunchy riffs, stadium-style floor fillers, and a few subconscious fist pumpers that will make you look like a dick if you leave the curtains open as you bounce around your abode.
From the opening of the rap metal-infused Full Disclosure right the way through to the album closer Rain. [su_youtube url=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LVRHLnvBAP4″ title=”Dolby Atoms Version”]Gawdzillionaire is like an old friend. With nuances of Last Resort era Papa Roach and general Good Charlotte mixed with a little screamo (Paradise feat Heidi Shephard is a prime example) there is plenty to like about this album.[su_youtube url=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QaD9Xw8bRB4″ title=”Dolby Atoms Version”]Otherwise haven’t reinvented the wheel with this record, but they’ve played to their strengths, and come up with an absolute belter. This is a much better record than Defy (which was a good record) but not quite as good as Peace At All Costs (my favorite album of theirs so I’m a tad biased).
Gawdzillionaire isn’t an essential purchase but it’s definitely one to be considered (especially as it’s a colored vinyl and I’m a sucker for those) If you like your rock-hard, heavy, and feeling like an old friend, you’re going to get a kick out of this album. I have
Score 7/10
